近年來，各地大型災難災區運用Sahana整合災情資訊與救災資源，成效顯著。2010年一月海地發生強震，全世界各地的網路使用者運用各種網路工具協助救災，Sahana 在其中扮演重要角色，有效整合Google、 Ushahidi、 Twitter、OpenStreetMap 等Web 2.0新興資訊服務進行救災，2010年四月，Sahana更榮獲知名的Gartner Research公司選為「2010最佳危機管理與規範(Risk Management and Compliance)方案」，成為網路時代全球資訊救災新典範。
為協助發揮資訊科技救災效能，達成智慧台灣願景「建設台灣成為安心、便利、健康、人文的優質網路社會」，財團法人資訊工業策會特結合中華民國紅十字總會、中研院資訊科技創新研究中心、開拓文教基金會，籌辦本「台灣Sahana發展論壇」，藉由邀請 Sahana Software Foundation、紐西蘭Sahana Cluster等國際專家分享Sahana建置及運用心得、介紹台灣Sahana平台發展現況及願景，敬邀所有關心我國防救災工作的政府單位、公益團體及志工夥伴共同參與本論壇，共同擘劃我國防救災資訊平台之發展及Sahana的應用，提升防救災效能，減少受災民眾苦難。

Taiwan Sahana Development Forum: The Science and Technology Advisory Group of the Executive Yuan / Ministry of Interior is sponsoring the Taiwan Sahana Development Forum on July 30, 2010 at the Howard International House in Taipei. This one-day event is designed to introduce Sahana to multiple governmental agencies and jurisdictions in Taiwan, along with many charitable non-profit organizations involved in disaster relief. This forum is the result of a lot of hard work on the part of the Sahana Taiwan team, who has been working on fixing bugs, customizing Sahana to Taiwan's needs, and completing a translation of Sahana Agasti over much of the past year.
Directors Chamindra de Silva, Darmendra Pradeeper and Gavin Treadgold are joining CEO Mark Prutsalis to represent the Sahana Software Foundation to speak to the expected audience of approximately 200 persons representing government, academia, industry and the non-profit sector.
